Variant 112A Variant
series
Introduction
The Variant 112A is a powered, bi-
amplified ultra-compact constant curvature
line array module.
Description
The Variant 112A is designed for use as a
multi-box array in small to mid-sized
installations where wide vertical dispersion
and high power are required.
The lightweight and visually discrete 7.5º
trapezoidal enclosure incorporates an
aluminum and steel frame which is
attached to the box and includes the
captive rigging hardware needed to join
one box to another.
The Variant 112A splay angles range from
12º to 15º in increments of 1º allowing
wide vertical dispersion with fewer units.
The loudspeaker components of the
Variant 112A include a 12V4, 12" cone
transducers and two M-50N neodymium
compression driver with 2" titanium
diaphragm.
These high efficiency, low distortion
units are coupled to a constant curvature
wave guide and offer reliability, high
FEATURES output and wide dynamic range.
» Biamplified 2-way system The array correction switch can be used
to provide a 3 dB step high frequency eq
» 500 W low frequency class D power amplifier to compensate for the low frequency
» 100 W high frequency power amplifier build-up when using Variant cabinets in an
array or to adjust the short-mid or long
» 12" speaker throw of the cabinets.
» 2 x 2" diaphragm compression driver The unit offers 500 W Class D for the low
frequency transducers and 100 W for the
SPECIFICATIONS high frequency section.

Frequency Response
Figure 1 shows the frequency response
at 1 m of a unit radiating to an anechoic
environment and driven by a swept sine
wave signal (-20 dBu input).
Distortion
Figure 2 shows the Second Harmonic
Distortion (grey) and Third Harmonic
Distortion (dotted) curves for a unit
driven by a swept sine wave signal (-10
dBu input).
Directivity
Figure 3 shows normalized horizontal
isobar plot.
Figure 4 shows normalized vertical
isobar plot.
Polar Response
Figure 5 shows the 1/3 octave band
horizontal (left) and vertical (right) polars
for the indicated frequencies. Full scale
is 30 dB, 6 dB per division.
NOTES. 1.Frequency response: referred to 1 m; low end
obtained through the use of near field techniques; one-third
octave smoothed for correlation with human hearing.
5.Polars were acquired by placing the unit on a computer
controlled turntable inside our anechoic chamber.
Measurement distance was 4 m.
